Chapter 249: Reunion 2
During the ultrasound, the image reflected the coiled embryo.
The doctor said, “She is three months along and the baby is not really formed yet, you will be able to see the approximate outline when she is a little over five months old.”
Estrella Berrocal lay back on the bed, looking at the mass of images, and asked quietly, “Are you all right, doctor?”
“Pretty good, but I just saw that your progesterone levels are still low, so you still need to pay more attention, eat well…”
Felipa said sideways: “My wife is vomiting everything she eats now, she has lost weight”.
“This is normal, don’t worry too much, you should eat, sleep, take a walk from time to time, the main thing is for pregnant women to keep their spirits cheerful.”
After a while, the doctor said, “Okay, get up.”
After Estrella Berrocal finished her examination and prescribed some vitamins and antibiotics, she left the hospital with Felipa.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Estrella Berrocal suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom: “Felipa, I’m going to the bathroom, wait for me here”.
“Would you like me to accompany you?”
“No, I’ll be right back.”
Estrella Berrocal went to the bathroom on the first floor of the hospital and looked half a dozen times before entering the women’s bathroom.
As she left the women’s restroom, she ran into a man in the hospital lobby.
The man’s long, slender hand reached out to her, and Estrella Berrocal was about to thank him when she looked up and saw the handsome face she knew all too well.
“Adam…!”
Jerold Rouco frowned slightly and let go of her arm coolly, “I’m sorry.”
He gave a slight nod and turned away with a cold, distant face.
Estrella Berrocal froze for a second and quickly went after him, “Adam! Adam!”
Estrella Berrocal reached out and grabbed his hand, incoherent with emotion, “You … you’re really alive! I’m so glad that … you are alive … I’ve missed you so much these days … you … ”
Before she could finish her words, the man’s large, thin hand casually pulled her hand away and looked at her very calmly, “Miss, you’ve got the wrong person.”
His gaze was strange in the extreme.
It was clearly the same face as Adán Rouco, it was clearly the same deep and beautiful voice as Adán Rouco, even those hands were just as long and beautiful … and yet she said that she had mistaken him for someone else?
How could that be…?
Estrella Berrocal pressed her lips together and laughed: “Adán, are you kidding me? I’ve been waiting for you, I knew you wouldn’t leave Paulita and me behind …. It’s just that, I just went to the maternity clinic and the doctor said our baby is fine … I’m sorry … ”
With that, Estrella Berrocal took his hand and explored her lower back, Jerold Rouco pushed her away with a cold hand, “You really have the wrong person.”
The man walked away from her sight with long strides.
Estrella Berrocal tried to catch up with him, but the hospital was crowded and Adán Rouco quickly lost her.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Estrella Berrocal gasped as she ran out of the hospital.
Felipa rushed to her rescue: “Third Young Grandmother, why are you running so fast, watch out for the baby”.
Estrella Berrocal grabbed Felipa’s hand and said excitedly, “Felipa, I just saw Adán! You saw him standing here a moment ago!”.
“Third Young Grandmother, have you got the wrong person? I have been standing here and have not seen the Third Young Master.”
Estrella Berrocal’s eyes, looking around in bewilderment, shook her head and said: “It’s impossible…. I really saw him a moment ago! I really saw him! He… he even took me by the hand and helped me, Felipa I really didn’t lie to you!”
Felipa didn’t believe her at all, just thought she was hallucinating, and said with all her heart, “Third Young Grandmother, I know you are thinking about the Third Young Master, but you can’t keep spinning your fantasies. Then can you stop thinking about Third Young Master?”.
Estrella Berrocal was so desperate she wanted to cry, “I really saw it! There must be a camera in the lobby downstairs that could capture it!”
“Third Young Grandmother…”
Estrella Berrocal shouted, “Felipa please believe me! I have really seen Adam!”
Felipa had no choice but to let her go until she saw the CCTV: “Third Young Grandmother, we agreed that if the CCTV didn’t see the Third Young Master, you would come home with me, I don’t know what I would tell His Lordship if something happened to you or the baby. ”
When they reached the surveillance room, the security officer pulled out the surveillance.
“What exactly are they looking for?”
Felipa looked at Estrella Berrocal and said, “Third Young Grandmother, there are so many people in this downstairs room that it is impossible to see.”
However, Estrella Berrocal’s eyes were fixed on the screen and she asked the security guard, “Can you zoom in a little more?”
“Up to that point, you can’t zoom in any further.”
On the screen, set to maximum, it was so blurry that it was impossible to see the face and, at the time, Adán Rouco was wearing a black baseball cap that obscured it even more.
Estrella Berrocal pointed to the man in the gray sweater on the screen, “Felipa, it’s really Adam!”.
Felipa didn’t believe it at all, “Third Young Grandmother, how can the Third Young Master be here? Besides, seeing how this man is dressed, he doesn’t look anything like our Third Young Master…”
Estrella Berrocal, not knowing how to explain herself, left the surveillance room, still undeterred.
“Felipa, let’s go to the police station to report the incident so that the police can help us find him!”.
The more Felipa heard, the more indignant she became, coming to suspect that Estrella Berrocal’s whole being was now in an abnormal state, “Third Young Grandmother, can we go home first, what do you say we tell her ladyship first?”.
“Well, if we let Pa know, Pa will go and send someone to get him too, it’ll be quicker!”.
Felipa managed to take Estrella Berrocal to her house, and as soon as she got into the car, Estrella Berrocal was busy calling Roberto Rouco.
As soon as she answered the call, Estrella Berrocal said anxiously, “Dad, I met Adam at the hospital today! He’s not dead.
Roberto Rouco, on the other side, was astonished: “What did you say?
“Adam is not really dead!”.
“Are you sure you’re right?”
“I’m sure I’m right, Dad, can you send someone to look for him? I’m afraid Adam will leave The Holy City.”
Roberto Rouco frowned: “If Adam is really alive, why doesn’t he go home? If he met him, why did he leave?”.
“I … I don’t know, he doesn’t know me, and I’m not sure why …. Dad, leave it for a moment, do you want to send someone to look for him first?”.
Roberto Rouco was a bit skeptical but verbally agreed with Estrella Berrocal: “Okay, I’ll send someone to pick him up, don’t worry, don’t worry about the baby”.
“Dad, if you hear anything, you have to let me know.”
After hanging up the phone, Estrella Berrocal’s whole body was still in a state of emotional turmoil.
Adam was not really dead yet ….
The corners of his lips unconsciously lifted.
But the idea of him looking at her as a complete stranger made Estrella Berrocal’s heart feel like it was being crushed hard by a wheel …
“Felipa, why do you think Adam doesn’t know me? Has he lost his memory because he fell into the sea in a car accident?”
